AMERICAN SECRET SOCIETY SWORD. Late 19th century. Gilt hilt with bow tie form guard and plumed helmet form pommel retaining considerable original gold. Silvered white metal (probably zinc) grip. 23 1/2" blade. Completely unmarked suggesting a clandestine organization. While many secret societies promoted the welfare of their members and society in general, the binding element for some was a common hatred for another group. As well, the post-Civil War years saw a growing militancy among labor groups. Numerous violent encounters including armed conflicts and lynchings resulted in both cases. This sword evidently served one such group.

Turkish N.C.O. Gallipoli Campaign Sword and Scabbard by Manufacturer E&F Horster Solingen. ED 2342. -. The Gallipoli campaign, the Dardanelles campaign, the Defence of Gallipoli or the Battle of Gallipoli was a military campaign in the First World War on the Gallipoli peninsula (now Gelibolu) from 19 February 1915 to 9 January 1916. The Entente powers, Britain, France and the Russian Empire, sought to weaken the Ottoman Empire, one of the Central Powers, by taking control of the Ottoman straits. This would expose the Ottoman capital at Constantinople to bombardment by Entente battleships and cut it off from the Asian part of the empire. With the Ottoman Empire defeated, the Suez Canal would be safe and the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits would be open to Entente supplies to the Black Sea and warm-water ports in Russia. This example has the E&F Horster Solingen mark to one side and Turkish calligraphy *feint* inscribed to both sides, with a black painted D guard and ribbed ebony grips bound with woven steel wire. Complete with its original steel scabbard which retains much of its paint and frog stud. Blade measuring; 25 ½ “- 30 ½ “overall. The price includes UK delivery. ED 2342. (Bucket)

WW1 Indian Troops Talwar (Aka Talwaar Or Tulwar) Fighting Sword / Sabre Regiment Marked ‘NBA’ (Most Likely A Nepaese Unit) & Khaki Field Covered Scabbard. Sn 21979:5 -. The talwar (also spelled talwaar and tulwar, is a type of curved sword or sabre from the Indian subcontinent). Like many swords from around the world with an etymology derived from a term meaning simply ’sword’. The typical Talwar is a type of sabre, characterised by a curved blade (without the radical curve of some Persian swords), possessing an all-metal hilt with integral quillons and a disc-shaped pommel (sometimes called the ’Indo-Muslim hilt’ or ’standard Indian hilt’). The Talwar was used by both Cavalry and Infantry. When a blow was struck by a skilled warrior, limbs could be amputated and persons decapitated. The spike attached to the pommel could be used for striking the opponent in extreme close quarter circumstances when it was not always possible to use the blade (see pages 601 and 602 of A Glossary of Arms & Armor by Stone where similar Talwars are described and illustrated). Our example From the WW1 era is of the type issued to Indian troops. It has all of the correct Talwar characteristics such all metal construction, small grip, disc with point pommel, curved 30 ½” long, fullered sabre blade, knuckle guard and hilt langets. The Talwar measures 35 ½” overall length. The Talwar has even patina and the blade has just light staining consistent with age. The blade has small unknown inspection marks (illustrated). The hilt is Regiment marked ‘NBA’ (Most Likely A Nepaese Unit) above weapon number ‘746’. The sword is accompanied by its original olive khaki canvas covered wood scabbard indicating WW1 issue. The scabbard has a steel chape. The scabbard is clean with just the lower part of the rear seam of the khaki cover becoming open with age related shrinkage. The price includes UK delivery.

Argentine Model 1909 Infantry NCO&#acute;s Machete Sidearm. Description Single-edged blade with a swell towards the point, 14Â¾ inches in length (just under 20 inches overall). Steel S-shaped hilt, exposed tang and beaked pommel, wood grips secured by two rivets with washers. Blued steel scabbard with teardrop frog stud. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with the Argentinian coat of arms surrounded by the text &#acute;Modelo Argentino 1909&#acute;, and on the other with &#acute;Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co. Solingen&#acute;, the manufacturer. Both the hilt and the scabbard are stamped with the serial number &#acute;E01821&#acute;, indicating they are a matching pair. The pommel is stamped &#acute;RA&#acute; within a circle, a government mark of the Republica Argentina. There are a few marks of individual letters with a cross on various components, these may be factory inspection marks. The spine of the blade has an &#acute;A&#acute;, the hilt a &#acute;P&#acute;, and the scabbard a &#acute;D&#acute;. The design of the 1909 sidearm was clearly inspired by the German Model 1898/05 bayonet: its blade is almost identical in shape and thickness, being just a fraction longer and without a fuller. Its scabbard and frog are also very close facsimiles. This example is one of those made by a German manufacturer and exported; some were also produced locally in Argentina. These sidearms were still carried by Argentinian NCOs by the time of the Falkands War in 1982. After Argentine forces surrendered to the British on June 14 their small arms were piled up by the thousand in the Islands&#acute; capital Port Stanley, where most Argentine forces had been deployed or driven back to, as well as at their smaller garrisons at Goose Green and on West Falkland. Anecdotally, I have been told it was their artillerymen who were seen surrendering M1909 sidearms. The bayonets and sidearms frequently became personal trophies or souvenirs for British soldiers as they would not be illegal to own in civilian life. This example is almost certainly one such &#acute;bring-back&#acute;. The blade has some spots of patination and no edge damage. The hilt, pommel and exposed tang are likewise clean. The wood grips are in very good condition with no chipping, only a few surface dents. The scabbard is free of dents and retains much of its original blued finish, with some rubbing to the sides, the chape and where it would contact the frog when worn.

French M1886 Lebel Bayonet, Scarce Steel Grip Version. Description Straight shortened cruciform epee blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, black painted steel grip, tubular steel scabbard. Dark brown leather frog. Overall length 45.3cm (~18 inches) Blade length 33.5cm (~13Â¼ inches). The hilt is stamped with an inspection mark in the form of a cursive F and the serial number &#acute;7856&#acute;. The scabbard is likewise stamped with an inspection mark and &#acute;8907&#acute;. The 1886/93/16 bayonet pattern fitted to the M1886 Lebel and M1907 Berthier rifles used by the French Army during WW1, and was the third version of the M1886 (which was revised in 1893 and 1916). This version had a simplified flat locking button and was manufactured without the quillon found on earlier types. The steel grip was a variation, possibly an expediency measure to increase production “ German silver (cupro-nickel-zinc alloy) was the original material. In 1935 many of the various types of Lebel bayonets in the French arsenals had their blades shortened to around 13Â¼ inches by removing the slender tip and repointing. The shorter blades were considered less prone to breakage, and perhaps with the decline of the bayonet in warfare additional reach was less important than ease of carry. The scabbards were also modified to match “ this one has been cut down to size by removing the lower section then reattaching the chape finial. The steel grip appears to have been deeply blued to appear black, this finish is in good condition with only light rubbing from handling. The blade and hilt are also deeply blued to match “ notably, the repointed tip of the blade is bright where it has been ground, suggesting its bluing predates its shortening. The scabbard also has a blued finish, with some rubbing in places, and is free of dents. The leather frog is in good condition, all stitching intact and the leather quite flexible.

Swiss M1914 Schmidt-Rubin Sawback Bayonet. Description Straight spear pointed blade with sawback, swell point and false edge, with single fuller on one side, the other side completely flat. Steel hilt with upper muzzle ring and lower lobe quillon, beaked steel pommel with locking button. Wood slab grips secured by two steel rivets. Steel scabbard with ball finial, frog loop near the throat with attached leather strap. Brown leather frog. The blade is stamped at the ricasso with the manufacturer &#acute;Elsener Schwyz&#acute;, and on the hilt with the serial number &#acute;687845&#acute;. The lobe quillon is stamped with a Swiss cross. The scabbard throat is stamped with &#acute;P&#acute; and its finial is stamped with a Swiss cross. The reverse of the frog is stamped with &#acute;F Christen Sattler Bern&#acute;, the leather goods manufacturer (Sattler = Saddler) and &#acute;43&#acute;, probably the manufacture date, as well as an &#acute;A&#acute; within a cartouche (there should also be a Swiss cross with this, but it was more shallowly stamped and has rubbed away) and the scratched initials &#acute;R D&#acute;, probably a soldier&#acute;s name. Offically called the Sägebajonett Mod. 1914 (Sawing Bayonet Model of 1914), the M1914 bayonet for the Schmidt-Rubin rifle was based upon the earlier M1878 and M1881 bayonets for the Vetterli rifle, with a similar sawback blade combined with the hilt design from the M1889 Schmidt-Rubin bayonet. The blade is unusual in that it is flat on one side and with a ground edge on the other. It has a &#acute;sawback&#acute;, saw teeth cut into the spine of the blade intended to make it useful for field work like cutting brush. The M1914 was only issued to certain troops such as transport NCOs, artillery drivers and engineers, while most troops carried a shorter knife blade without the sawback. It was used with the M1911 carbine and M1931 (K31) short rifle. The all-steel scabbard seen with this example was introduced in 1938 for new production, and the previous leather scabbards replaced as they wore out. The blade is bright and clean overall, with only the expected rubbing marks from sheathing and drawing on the flat side. The saw has seen light use: three saw teeth have broken points and a few show burrs or light chipping. The wood grips are in good condition with a couple of light dents. The steel scabbard is free of dents and retains almost all of its original blued finish, with some rubbing to the finial and edges exposing bright steel. The leather frog is flexible with all its stitching intact and only light rubbing to the surface “ its steel rivets and buckle are bright.

Austro-Hungarian 19th Century Briquet Sabre by Pacholek. Description Curved unfullered hatchet pointed blade with false edge. One-piece cast brass hilt with ribbed grip, forward curving quillon with ball finial and simple knucklebow, domed pommel. No scabbard. Blade 25Â¼ inches (64.2cm) in length, the sword 30 5/8 inches (77.8cm) overall. The blade is stamped at the forte on one side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;PACHOLEK GY _UDA_ES_&#acute;, some letters being only partially struck or double stamped. I believe this indicates the manufacturer György Pacholek of Budapest, Hungary. The same area is also stamped with &#acute;10S&#acute; over &#acute;1174&#acute; divided by a horizontal line, partly overstamping the maker&#acute;s mark, the numerals in an Austro-Hungarian style. Simple, sturdy and cheap to produce, the &#acute;briquet&#acute; sabre was found across Europe in the mid-19th century. Austro-Hungarian examples seem to be uncommon but may have been used for infantry or artillerymen. The blade has a quite even light patina, with a few small spots of darker patination. The edge has been sharpened, leaving visible grinding marks on the sides of the blade, and has a number of small nicks on its upper section. A few tiny dents to the brass hilt, which has a mostly even finish, with some darker patination on the quillon finial, pommel cap and on the top of the hilt next to the blade shoulder.

French M1886 Lebel Bayonet, Scarce Steel Grip Version. Description Straight cruciform epee blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring and rotating locking catch, black painted steel grip, tubular steel scabbard, brown leather frog. This bayonet pattern fitted to the M1886 Lebel and M1907 Berthier rifles used by the French Army during WW1. The black-painted steel grip was an expediency measure to increase production “ cupro-nickel was the original material, which was then replaced with brass or steel, of which steel is rarer. The blade is in good condition, with only a few small dings. The black paint of the grip is almost completely intact, only a small area showing flaking on one side. The hilt appears to have been blued and then likewise painted - some wear on raised edges which reveals the blueing or the steel beneath. The scabbard is likewise painted with some small areas of flaking, and is free of dents. The brown leather frog is flexible with no damage and only light surface rubbing in high-wear areas. Its brass buckle has an even patina.
